After a year of fighting villains as the superhero Bolt, Kevin Jason must now deal with integrating his newly-rescued twin brother into the Young Neos, as well as think about his future career as a superhero. Things become more complicated, however, when Kevin’s brother is kidnapped by a mysterious new team of supervillains whose motives are unknown but whose actions could spell the end of his brother’s life if Kevin doesn’t save him.
Despite being a member of the Young Neos for two months, White Lightning, Bolt’s twin brother, still doesn’t feel accepted by the rest of his teammates, who view him with a mixture of distrust and wariness thanks to his supervillain past. When White attempts to win their trust, he ends up getting kidnapped. Now he must break out of the facility that his kidnappers have put him in before they use him to further their own dangerous agenda.
But White’s kidnapping is merely one part of a greater plan plotted out by the supervillains’ true leader long ago, one that neither White nor Bolt may be able to stop.

“An enticing paranormal mystery steeped in family secrets, old curses, and awoman’s search for meaning after emotional trauma.” –Sublime Book ReviewThe past two years have taken their toll on Arista Kelly. Once an eternal optimist, now she has faced the darkness and must recalibrate what true happiness means for her. Meanwhile, Shane, her ex-boyfriend, is pulling all the right moves to help keep her sane from her heightening paranoia. But it doesn’t help that Iris, her Great Aunt Bethie’s friend, has disappeared.Still, one additional trial remains. While searching for Iris, Bethie and Arista stumble upon a grand revelation in the eccentric woman’s home. With the discovery, they realize their run of chaos and loss of kin may have roots in a curse that dates back to the 1940s—the time when their family patriarch first built Arista’s cottage in the redwoods and crafted his insightful Ouija table.This pursuit will not follow their accustomed recipe of adrenalized action, but the high stakes remain. Will the mysterious slow burn of unfolding events finally level Arista’s entire world or be fully extinguished, once and for all?
Review “A nuanced, multifaceted yarn with magical machinations and real-world concerns.” Kirkus Reviews “I was moved. Not just by the tragic past that hangs over the Kelly family but by the hope that emerges through Arista’s strength. This is a book for those who like their witch stories intimate, their mysteries character-driven, and their fiction laced with emotion and weirdness in equal measure. If you enjoy Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic, but wish it had a bit more grit and ghost stories, Hummingbird Moonrise might just be your cup of tea. Or maybe your crystal-infused moon water. Either way, it’s worth the read.” Literary Titan “Dodd fuses folklore, witchcraft, and familial bonds into a mystery that’s full of tension and emotional stakes. The prose is fluid and poetic, but never overindulgent. The dialogue feels authentic, especially in the moments of warmth and wit between Arista and Auntie. The pacing is steady, picking up momentum as secrets are uncovered, and choices must be made.” Readers Views “Witchy vibes meet compelling murder mystery in Dodd’s unforgettable series Murder, Teas & Crystals.” Independent Book Review “There are reckless, tense moments and slower, more introspective scenes, but it all kept me gripped thanks to Dodd’s confident command of narrative structure. Everything feels relevant, and this makes for a lyrical and atmospheric novel that explores how ancestral wounds can shape generations for good or bad. Overall, Hummingbird Moonrise is a read I’d certainly recommend.” – K.C. Finn, Readers’ Favorites “The inclusion of characters with distinct accents and a Witchy dictionary at the end further demonstrates the author’s attention to detail. Overall, this is a fantastic read for anyone who enjoys paranormal stories about family and resilience.” Doreen Chombu, Readers’ Favorites “I recommend Hummingbird Moonrise to readers who enjoy stories about family legacies, supernatural abilities, and the power of love to overcome darkness.” – Mary Clarke, Readers’ Favorites About the Author Sherri was raised in southeast Texas. Walking barefoot most days and catching crawdads as they swam the creek beds, she had a love for all things free and natural. Her childhood ran rampant with talk of ghosts, demons, and backcountry folklore. This inspired her first story for sale, about a poisonous flower that shot toxins onto children as they smelled it. Her classmate bought it for all the change in his pocket. Shortly thereafter, her mother packed the two of them up and headed to the central coast of California. Since that time, she has worked corporate, married, raised two sons, and now writes full-time creating atmospheric paranormal fiction. Her debut novel, Murder Under Redwood Moon, shot straight to #1 New Release on Amazon. From AudioFile “The inclusion of characters with distinct accents and a Witchy dictionary at the end further demonstrates the author’s attention to detail. Overall, this is a fantastic read for anyone who enjoys paranormal stories about family and resilience.” Doreen Chombu, Readers’ Favorites
